Breg VPULSE Compression Cold Therapy System Overview
The Breg VPULSE Machine Cold Therapy System provides cold therapy and compression to post-operative surgery sites or to injuries. Consistent use lowers the overall risk of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) after major surgery compared to pharmaceutical prophylaxis. VTE is one of the leading factors for hospital readmission after major orthopedic surgery and the most common preventable cause of hospital deaths. Cold therapy and compression may also increase patient compliance compared to pharmaceutical prophylaxis alone. The unit has three therapy modes that can be selected by using the unit's easy and straightforward controls.

Compact Convenience
Breg VPULSE Machine Cold Therapy System can be used in both hospital and home settings. The compact size is perfect for transferring between patients or from room to room. The ice bottles inside the machine stay cold for longer than a standard cold pack and keep the water at a consistent temperature. The motor sends the water to the pad and back, providing cryotherapy for hours at a time.
Three Functions in One Package
The VPULSE Cold Therapy provides three forms of therapy with a single device. Deep Vein Thrombosis Prophylaxis prevents the forming of blood clots in the calves. Motorized cold therapy delivers consistent cold to the area to relieve pain and also bring down any swelling. The wound compression setting provides cold compression, which can reduce swelling and inflammation. Each setting can be selected by pressing the corresponding button on the front of the VPULSE.
Note: It is very important that a medical professional's instructions be followed when using this device. Failure to comply may result in aggravating the wound site or injuring the body further.
